Yeah it used to be the PS and EA chart. If it was Fifa, NFS or any other licenced game it was in the top 10.

Wanted to offer up some updated impressions of Nostalgia.  The game is getting better.  I'm still more or less pushing myself to play it, but I'm starting to see a few more interesting features.

The most unique new feature is the Airship combat.  It's still pretty basic turn-based combat, but you can get attacked from three different sides at once, so you have to look right, straight, and left when you determine which group you want to fight.  It's a neat twist that helps it feel a little different.  

The level up system also features sort of a branching system that while not exactly innovative, doesn't get used enough in traditional RPGs, and its welcome here.  

I will also say that the Steampunk theme really is barely here or at least in the background. I mean, they've thrown in wizards now and some of the outfits just defy any kind of theme at all.  Hopefully there will be a bigger push for it later in the game, but at this stage in the game it's been disappointing.

Thanks for the impressions. I cant really get interested in DS RPGs anymore though, there are so many.

Kameo 2 canned by Microsoft

'Traditional' franchises swept aside for Natal projects, CVG learns

Rare's secretly in-the-works Kameo sequel is just one casualty of a Microsoft project cull at the studio, to make way for more Natal development, CVG has learned.

Rat bastards! Natal sucks! That's it! I'm jumping ship over to Sony.

Phew, we dodged the bullet here guys.

Thank goodness we wont have to put up with a Kameo sequel.

In other sadder terms, the article mentions that more than one franchise sequel has been cancelled. Perfect Dark? Killer Instinct? Banjo?

Rare seems to be MS's go to casual guys now.

As unimpressive as Kameo might be (I've started it over a good number of times and getting bored within the hour), the loss of a sequel to that is worse news by an order of magnitude than the loss of crap such as Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct or Banjo.

Wise choice on Batman....the game is awesome. Maybe my favorite game of the year.

And I also love posts like that. Reminds me of Gamespot around 2000 when it was a fun place.

I'm back to not wanting NSMB, even as a gift, I think I'm going with Arkham Asylum.

I need some more 360 games, after RE5 and SFIV its been all quiet and actually apart from LKS its been all quiet on the wii  front too.  

My poor 360 feels neglected though, I need Fallout 3 and Arkham for sure. Sad that a good number of Wii games have been pushed back till spring, Silent Hill, Red Steel 2, Monster Hunter 3, FFCC etc.

I've been wanting COD4 for ageeeeees but since its not come down in price I'm going to wait on reviews and if they are good, get the Wii version with IR aiming.

Yeah Its a good time to pick up Fallout 3 now with the GOTY Edition and the fancy new cover!

What the hell happened to the Wii holiday lineup? It looked like it would be pretty solid for awhile, and now its turning out just as lame as last year! This is the 2nd year in a row Nintendo hasn't really had that big, epic holiday game....I mean I'm sure NSMB Wii is great and all but its still not an Epic modern release or anything like a Zelda/Metroid/RE or what have you. And the 3rd party games have just vanished. It blows my mind that a console that popular is having 2 horrible holiday seasons in a row on the software front. I almost wish Nintendo was struggling as maybe it would give them reason to put effort into bringing out major games when they should. And its also why it sucks the Wii is underpowered as it would at LEAST be getting solid multi-plat ports this holiday if it wasn't.

Oh well.

Dragon Age tomorrow, and I have no extra cash to get it ......I still have a bunch of games I need to finish anyway, but I really want that one along with Brutal Legend, Modern Warfare 2 and Ass Creed 2 for this year.

They delayed Mario Galaxy 2 to give NSMB the holiday window

The rest of the games are delayed to make them better. I hear that FFCC is out on Boxing day in the US and Silent Hill might make it too.

Yeah I agree, because the system is underpowered its just not getting support.

Okay some Zelda news from a translated Miyamoto interview

I got this from gaf.

Some quotes

[Zelda ST] will be really fun. It's turning out to be rather challenging. Many of our Japanese customers were introduced to the Zelda series with Phantom Hourglass, and ST could prove to be kind of hard for them, but I thought we'd show them what Zelda is really made of this time around. So it's turning into quite a unique title.

We've managed to gather quite a few creative team members for Zelda ST, so I'd like Zelda Wii to also enjoy creative development as much as possible.

About MotionPlus. We're implementing it so that players can feel like they themselves are holding the sword. In the previous Zelda (TP Wii) the targeting was based on the IR pointer. This time however, we'll be using MotionPlus for a variety of more convenient targeting systems that will allow for more pleasant gameplay.

Vader, time to get hyped!!!!!!

Maybe there is still hope for Spirit Tracks. The next Wii Zelda will be incredible, no one needs to tell me that.

 Did you play wii sports resort? I think the sword fighting and bow and arrow mechanics will be used in the next Zelda!
